#oneaday Day 896: Sunday

I have an absolutely raging headache this evening for some reason. I feel like I have sunstroke despite not having really been outside all day and it is exceedingly painful, so this may not be the most coherent and/or long post I've ever written — just to warn you!

My parents came to visit today, which was nice — we've not had the opportunity to see one another for a long time what with all the lockdown shenanigans. My mum managed to convince my dad to hand over his complete collection of Page 6/New Atari User magazines, so I've got all those to go through at some point — looking forward to it!

Made the mistake of looking on Twitter a little while ago only to find not one but two separate toxic gaming arguments raging on for no real reason whatsoever. I closed the tab and didn't look any further — I'm really not in the mood for that shit today. I swear, if all the people who spent all their time being mad about something tangentially video game related spent that time actually playing video games instead, everyone would be a whole lot happier.

As for me, I got through one of my favourite bits of Final Fantasy XIV in my New Game Plus run earlier — The Final Steps of Faith, home to one (well, three) of the most spectacular pieces of music Soken has ever given us. That's still an incredible "final" battle that brings that particular chapter of the story to a close, and it was good to experience it in context once again. Just a little more and I can get into Stormblood again — and once I clear the base Stormblood story I'll be into stuff that is all-new to me! Looking forward to that.

Trying to work out if this headache is particularly conducive to any sort of gaming this evening. I have already popped some paracetamol and the temptation to just go lie in bed is enormous, but it's only 9pm. Maybe something nice to eat will help.

Anyway, hope you've had a good weekend — and for those of you who have tomorrow off too (like me!) I hope you have a good holiday Monday!
